In a world where gaming on the go has become a norm, one Redditor has taken it to the next level with the creation of the ‘RyzenDeck’. This bulky, high-spec handheld PC, designed by Redditor Raven0606, is a testament to the passion and creativity of gamers worldwide.
A glimpse of the impressive RyzenDeck
The Birth of the RyzenDeck
Raven0606’s childhood dream of playing emulators and PC games ‘on the run’ has materialized into the RyzenDeck. Featuring a 3D printed shell housing an 8-inch Waveshare touchscreen display, this beast weighs a hefty 1.5kg without its battery pack. The inbuilt custom LED lighting adds a touch of flair to this powerhouse.
Performance Beyond Expectations
The RyzenDeck is not just a showpiece; it delivers on the performance front as well. Capable of running games like the Witcher 3 between 45-55 fps with a mix of low and mid graphic options, this handheld marvel boasts an overclocked RAM running at 4000mhz. The externally mounted 108wh battery provides up to four hours of power, ensuring uninterrupted gaming sessions. To top it off, two gigantic fans on the rear of the unit keep the system cool under pressure.
The Inspiration Behind the Name
Interestingly, Raven0606 was unaware of Valve’s handheld gaming PC, the Steam Deck, until halfway through the project. Upon discovering Valve’s creation, they decided to pay homage by naming their masterpiece the RyzenDeck.
